Berserkers

[SpartansDon'tDie]

Don't get me wrong, I like those crazy berserk units Germania can recruit, but don't you guys agree that they are way overpowered if they go berserk?
Today I did a test in XGM and saw that Berserkers, if they go berserk, can CRUSH THE SPARTAN ROYAL GUARD AND KEEP ALLMOST HALF OF THEIR MEN ALIVE! Defeating Spartan Phalangites was even easier while I charged straight up on the phalanx!
To this day the only close combat unit they couldn't handle were armoured elephants.

Perhaps it's an option to lower their attack stats a bit in your next version of the mod, cause I don't think it's normal that a unit of wild barbarians can defeat a unit of spartan royal guard so easy.

Greets,
keep up the good work

The problem is the berserk effect, CA went really overboard with it as they launch people around like they are elephants...
The only solution for now is to avoid recruiting those guys, eventually they will get fixed like gaesatae...

As a comparison, has anyone tried LOTR:TW? the trolls have the same special attack.... and they devastate all infantry. The best counter is a cav rush or better yet, archers. For the time being i recommend doing that, i have not noticed the AI recruiting them anyway.

There's a reason Rome never conquered Germania. :german:

Yeah, but i think its because Rome had so many enemies too, almost every bording nation was at war with the Romans.
The romans conquered 2 regions in Germania i think: Germania Inferior and Germania Superior

The recruitment time for them should be increased to 2-3 turns. That's what I did.

Yeah, that's a good one! I'll increase the recuitment time too
